    Specific feedback on this specific anvil please.

    For the anvil above if I were to buy it I would order a piece of 4140 plate and weld it to the face. A lot of old anvles were made that way. To cut your hardy hole drill it with a 1 inch bit the use a small 1/4 cold chisel to square it up( smaller chips are easy to than big ones)
